Basketball Betting Lines
02/26/2010 -
Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kevin Martin finished with 33 points, Aaron
Brooks had 31 and Luis Scola ended with a career-high 30, as the Houston Rockets made team history in a 109-104 victory over the San Antonio Spurs.
It is the first time that three Rockets players had at least 30 points in a
single contest, as the trio combined to go 30-of-64 from the field and 32-
of-32 from the foul line.
Martin's point total is the highest he has recorded since the Rockets acquired
him from Sacramento last week, while Scola had 13 rebounds for Houston, which
snapped a three-game slide. The Rockets also broke a four-game slide at home.
George Hill had 26 points to pace the Spurs, who have dropped three of four.
Tim Duncan added 17 points and eight rebounds, but the other three San Antonio
starters finished with zero points, going 0-for-8 from the floor.
The Spurs, playing without Tony Parker because of food poisoning, got 15
points from Richard Jefferson. Manu Ginobili hauled in a season-high 10
boards but shot only 1-for-8 and had eight points.
The Rockets led by double digits for much of the game and were ahead 105-92
after a Brooks jumper with 3:13 left, but the Spurs scored the next 10 points
to make it a one-possession game.
Jefferson had a pair of layups to begin the run, which Hill closed with a
three with 8.6 seconds to play. It got San Antonio within 105-102, but Brooks
made 4-of-4 from the line in the remaining time to secure the victory.
Houston already held a seven-point lead nearly midway through the first when
it ran off eight consecutive points. Martin closed the burst with two free
throws for a 25-10 advantage, and the Rockets took a 31-14 lead into the
second quarter.
Houston's lead stood at 59-41 at halftime, and the Rockets were ahead by as
many as 23 in the third before taking an 85-69 advantage to the fourth.
The Spurs opened the final quarter with a seven-point run, cutting the deficit
to 85-76 on Hill's three-pointer, but Houston responded with a Shane Battier
free throw and two buckets from Martin to restore a double-digit edge, which
the Rockets held down the stretch.
